Jacky St. James is an award-winning writer, director, and producer of ethical, erotic content. As an avid feminist and proponent of positive sexuality, her work aims to explore, embrace, and normalize the varied path of female desires.
She has guest lectured at UC Santa Barbara, UCLA and her work can be found on a variety of outlets including Bellesa.com and Showtime.

St. James is also known for being an outspoken feminist, and for creating strong female roles that celebrate women's complexity and independence.

St. James didn’t want to make just any old erotic series when she created Submission. She was on a mission to tell a truthful story about sexual desire — and debunk what she felt was an abusive portrayal of BDSM in Fifty Shades of Grey.”
